• RECEPTION: Complimentary valet parking will be provided at Water Works for those who would like to drive to the reception.

Attire

• WELCOME PARTY: Our welcome party will be held at the Union League, which does adhere to a dress code. Their summertime dress code can be described as “business casual” – collared shirts and dress slacks for gentlemen and comparable attire for ladies, please.

• CEREMONY: For the Catholic wedding ceremony, we recommend attire that is appropriate for a religious setting. For ladies, this might mean covering your shoulders with a shawl or jacket; for gentlemen, a tux, dark suit, or dress shirt with slacks is typically appropriate. We appreciate your thoughtfulness in honoring the tradition and sanctity of the ceremony, and we look forward to celebrating this special day with you.

• RECEPTION: The dress code for our reception is Black Tie Optional. For ladies, think floor-length or tea-length dresses and for gentlemen, a tuxedo or a dark suit and tie. We want you to feel comfortable and confident, so please wear whatever makes you feel your best!
